DDoS group Lizard Squad apparently caught and exposed

Gaming can hopefully resume as normal as members of Lizard Squad appear to be have been tracked down.

Update 13 December: If you landed here looking for details of the apparent @FinestSquad exposé of LizardSquad, your best bet is their twitter account. Your guess is as good as ours as to whether this latest “Lizard Squad is over” stuff is legit or not. Original (and now quite out of date) story follows:

Despite challenges to the “Feds” it looks like the group known as Lizard Squad who have been carrying out DDoS attacks on game services have been tracked down. A Tweet was posted on the Lizard Squad Twitter page indicating that the net had closed in.

Digging a little deeper it appears that members of the group have had their personal details posted on the Internet by another group and Tweets have been going out from Activist Revolution with the details.

It’s taken a while to track the group down but gamers should stop experiencing DDoS attacks from the group.

Update: Some fresh postings on twitter and at the Lizard Squad site suggest that, whatever else may be going on behind the scenes, the lizards are calling it a day.

“We proved that even though we are little in this very big world, that a small group of friends who work together can cause a lot of havoc without legal repercussions. Today we will be disbanding, behind the green reptiles and other bullshit, we have lives believe it or not, things to do, people to meet.”
